[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She was WL at UVA because she applied RD, it’s much more competitive in RD, especially from NOVA and since she didn’t apply Early Action (with all of her classmates who apply ED elsewhere) she was signaling that she wasn’t really that interested in UVA. [/quote]

So much about this reads as a troll post---with a lot of energy to keep coming back with updates.

If a school has EA, you must do EA.  It is not binding, it just means you get your application in by Nov1/15 and get a result typically by mid February/late February.  It signals to a university that you have your act together and know you want to attend.  If you wait until RD, well by then you are AFTER ED1/ED2 and EA.  So the school has already picked the vast majority of their freshman class.  You could have done EA, you chose not to.  Not a smart choice[/quote]

Because she wasn't interested in UVA, she preferred to go OOS. She thought that she had a high chance with RD and wanted to focus on the rest of her applications. [b]JHU has been her dream school for a very long time [/b]- We know it's very competitive, but she still thought she had a chance. And yes, I'm definitely spending my Tuesday evening on here "trolling" instead of asking for advice/support from those of us in a similar situation - Please think of more original insults.[/quote]

What prevented an ED application to JHU?[/quote]

Exactly, most of the schools OP DD applied to are going to be $80-90K+.  If you need FA, you are not applying to that list typically.  You would have several "1 tier down" that give great aid if you cannot afford it.

Like I said, she applied ED2. I meant to write ED instead of EA.[/quote]

DP.  If JHU was her first choice, why didn't she apply ED1?[/quote]

DD worked a lot on her application for JHU and thought that more time would be beneficial. Maybe it was the wrong choice.[/quote]

Now I really think you are a troll. You know all about trying to do whatever it is that is beneficial to college admission including setting up a non-profit but you write EA instead of ED. 
Then you admit she applied ED2 to her dream school.

551 students were accepted to Hopkins for fall 2025 in the Early Decision I cohort. That is over 1/3 of the freshman class. [/quote]
